An issue conironts us in the
present canvass no less important,
than whether Malone is to be the
next United States Senator from
Virginia. To that end the little
outcast is bending all his energies
and through his lieutenants ex-
poets your support. In Accomac
those lieutenants call themselves
Independents, while in other places
they are known as Retormers, Far
mer candidates and the like. In
name they differ only, and all of
them who are elected will act with
the Republican party and virtually
be subject Ill all things to the Boss.
Their first vote will DC for the Out.
cast and the balance will be in ac-
cordance with his wishes, however
pernicious the legislation which
may be attempted and how per-
niclous it would be. can be in
ferred from the past acts of the
Outcast, enumerated in another

Notwithstanding the unfavOrable
weather an OVERLOOKING audience again
greeted Miss Goodrich and her COM
pany in the comedy drama of "Dad's
Boy" at Crawford's opera house last
night. 1t is emily stating the truth to
say that this popular company have
secured triumph not yet approached
by any of the many attractions visit
ing Topeka. No company has held
the boards for a weeks engagement
in this city that has drawn such au-
diences, and the great success of the
Goodrich troupe in playing to such
crowded houses is secured by no trick
of advertising or admission of "dead-
heads" but is due solely to merit.
Miss Goodrich, who is a charming
little queen of comedy, is supported by
a company of more than ordinary mer-
it. Another advantage possessed by
Miss Goodrich is that the plays in her
repertoire, like the talented little lady
herself, are fresh and sparkling. The
most of her plays have been written
by Miss Goodrich herself, and are es-
pecially adapted for her company, the
members of which have been selected
with great care and furnish strong
and unusually even support.

A fact not generally known is that
there are in Prussia two JerusaleDs-
one near Stargard Pomerania, the
other near Koenigsberg. The former
dates from the time of the knights OF
St. John and the Templars had to
aba ndon the Christian sovereignty in
the holy land and retired to the DC
cident, where pious princes offered
them asylums and settlements. The
statutes of the order required that
each newly received knight should
make pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and
since, under the altered circumstances
a pilgrimage to the holy land offered
great difficulties, it is supposed that to
carry cut the letter of the statutes the
members of the order found a place to
which they gave the name of the holy
city and where they erected one oil
more hospitals for the care of the sick
and needy.
The second of these German Jeru
salems is situated on an elevation near
Koenigsberg and belongs 20 the Loebe'
night hospital in that city, which was
built bya commentators of the order

mutual good will. At the bottom of
this problem there is community of
interest. How is it to be reached? Not
by stiff exaction from the mistress !;
not by sullen and grudged service
from the maid. Housekeepers will
pardon us for saying, that the sole
remedy is in their hands. The reform
must begin with them. They are the
educators /; theirs is the good sense,
the tack, the charity, that must do
the work. In the first place, they de-
mand too much of their servants
not of labor, but of virtue. They
must be amiable-a rare quality
among the best of us. They must be
economical, they must be respectful
a catalogue of virtues We do not find
or even look for, among our friends
or relatives educated and accom-
plished though they be.
If they possessed these virtues they
would not long be servants.
Accept them as they are, and by
example, rather than precept, Undue
them with these qualities. Virtue, in
any form, is as lovely to-day as when
Solomon wrote his song, and as attract
i've. Believe us. the most stubborn
and intractsble spirit, developed under
the lash of slavery, will emulate the
virtues of her mistress. We heard
the truest lady we ever knew say that
she could not drive past poor woman
on foot without asking her to ride, fol
she added, it must always gall the poor
to note these contrasts and the lady,
though we knew her seven years,
never changed her servants.
Think of their immature and unde-
veloped characters see them delving
day after day and year after year, fol
pittance barely sufficient to keep SOU
and body Notwithstanding a wheel
that revolves under their feet in hope
less, unending cycles.
Your position is, at best, an offense
to them. Learn, then, to reconcile
them to these differences by little acts
of kindness kind and sympathetic
inquiries after home and friends; an
occasional present to brighten their
lives little friendly confidence, now
and then, to melt their hearts and
fuse them with the family. These,
and the ten thousand little airy things
that tact and kindness always sug-
gest, will make you cOntented and
happy servants and true and trusty
friends. You lose nothing by these
Offices and you gain everything. You
sacrifice no self-respect you breed no
contempt, for the lady to whom We
have referred, let her reprimand be
ever so severe, was never replied to.
Make friendless girl feel that you
are her friend create for homeless
girl home let her feel that you are
her protector, her guardian, her coun.
sellor, her sympsthizer-that you re-
cognize her humanity and do not re-
gard her as a machine, and you will
have a servant who cannot be csjoled
by fattery or hired with money.
Good mistresses make good servants.

An incident is related which shows
the superstition of the Hawaiian ma

Queen Kapiolani, as just after her
return from her late European tour on
the occasion of the recent eruption of
Kilaeua, the queen was the first to
follow the heather practice of throwing
a live pig into the crater as sacrifice
to Pele the goddess of the mountain to
induce her to stop the flow of lava. In
this instance the sacrifice was q COM
plete success, at least the lava ceased
to flow Immediately after the sacrifcial
ceremony. AS prayer failed to pro-
duce any effect the queen now thinks
that Christianity is good in its place,
but not at all suited to the latitude of
